Accreditation
Our Lady of the Snows Catholic School is accredited by the Western Catholic educational Association.
The Catholic Elementary Schools were founded essentially as parish schools after the Council of Baltimore in 1884. For over 100 years these schools were conducted by various Religious Orders of men and women.
The purpose of the Catholic parish school was primarily to teach the Roman Catholic faith. The second purpose was to develop an academic curriculum that would be permeated with the values taught in the Roman Catholic Church.
Over the years it became more important to guarantee the parents and the parish that the elementary school was academically sound and spiritually formative for its students. School accreditation was a means to that end.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s the Western Catholic Educational Association came into being with its emphasis on the Catholic identity of the school as well as its academic program. Today all Catholic elementary schools (both parish and private) are fully accredited by the WCEA in California and Hawaii. To date seven other western states have adopted the WCEA process for school accreditation with the same purposes in mind.

A Little Birthday Present to Snows!
By now, you've probably seen our new Snows Crest (and isn't it fabulous!). Here's the skinny: Last year, Rick Reviglio (School Board President at the time and former student at Snows) found his old felt Snows pennant from the 70's in a box tucked away in his closet. A group working on our school expansion project took one look at it and knew they'd found a treasure — and immediately began work on integrating this design into a brand new school crest. This new design embraces all our school's traditions and what makes our school distinctly unique: Faith, Knowledge, Leadership, Service. You'll see our new Snows crest on our new building, on uniforms, letterhead, athletic uniforms, and lots of fun new items coming soon.
